Master Connection section - NetLinx Master Ethernet IP Address - Listen Mode

In this mode, you must add the Modero panel IP Address into the URL List of the Master (using NetLinx Studio). This mode sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list).

1.Obtain either a Static IP for the Modero panel (from your System Administrator) or a DHCP Address from the IP Settings of the System Connection page.

The DHCP/Static field (in the IP Settings section of the System Connection page) must be set to DHCP to get Dynamic IP information for the panel.

Press the on-screen Reboot (from the Protected Setup page) to both save any changes and restart the panel.

After power-up, press the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to access the Setup page.

Navigate to the Setup > Protected Setup > System Connection page and note the newly obtained Dynamic IP Address information from the IP Settings section. This information is then entered into the URL List for the connected NetLinx Master.

2.Toggle the Type field until Ethernet is selected (from the Master Connection section of the System Connection page).

3.Press the Mode field (to set the connection Mode) until the choice cycles to the word Listen. The System Number and Master IP/URL fields are then greyed-out.

4.Enter a username and password (into their respective fields) if the target Master has been previously secured.

5.Select the OnLine Tree tab from the Workspace window.

6.Select Diagnostics > URL Listing from the Main menu (FIG. 42).
